Footsteps echo across the
nation from days past. It was the spring of 1965, and the start of a
five-day Freedom March began, focused on civil rights and
segregation. Dr. Martin Luther King and the Freedom Marchers brought
awareness to their cause as they flooded the steps of the State
Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama. Thousands of voices united as one as
their cries for fair treatment and equality were heard around the
world. Forty-four years later, with the election of our first black
president, the Freedom Marchers from long ago have fulfilled their
“dream.”

Today, Freedom Marchers have
a new agenda. It is awareness for wrongful convictions and an end to
the archaic practice of putting our nation’s offenders to death.
It is our dream to see every state in the nation filled with the cries of concerned citizens; a
unified voice for freedom. The members of

are organizing a nationwide March for Freedom--www.FreedomMarchUSA.org--and
to date, the response has been overwhelming. However, volunteers and
coordinators are needed in every state in the nation to make this
March for Freedom a success.

Shall we continue to lock away people who could
possibly be innocent? Clearly, many of those who are in prison are
mothers. How many children are being raised without a parent due to
wrongful convictions? Shall we continue to put to death those who
may have been wrongfully convicted? Nationwide coverage is needed to
bring attention to this injustice. Ask yourself, as a society, are
we to stand by, quietly thinking "someone else" will bring awareness
to wrongful convictions?

Do your part to effect change for a better
America. Volunteer! Don’t let another innocent person’s blood be
spilled or years of a life stolen by a justice system that continues
to put political agendas above the lives of our nation’s people.

It’s time our nation and its citizens became more
informed on the reality of our unjust justice system. Join us for
this powerful event! We need March Organizers and volunteers for
each state. If you would like to help, please use the form on the
Get Involved page.
